1-1. For safe use
SRS warning light
Driver airbag
Airbag manual on-off switch
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS air-
bag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags
deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-
toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the extremely high speed
deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, parts of the
front and rear pillars, and roof side rails, may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The hybrid system will be stopped and fuel supply to the engine will be stopped. ( P.82)
●The brakes and stop lights will be con- trolled automatically. ( P.277)
●The interior lights will turn on automat- ically. ( P.296)
●The emergency flashers will turn on automatically. ( P.366)
●Vehicles with eCall: If any of the fol-
lowing situations occur, the system is
designed to send an emergency call* to the eCall control center, notifying them of the vehicle’s location (without
needing to push the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to ascertain the
level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automati-
cally treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary
emergency services. ( P.66)
• An SRS airbag is deployed. • A seat belt pretensioner is activated.• The vehicle is involved in a severe
rear-end collision.*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( P. 6 7 )
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of
force corresponding to an approxi- mately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that
does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher in the following situ-
ations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,
which can move or deform on impact • If the vehicle is involved in an under-ride collision, such as a collision in
which the front of the vehicle “under- rides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt
pretensioners will activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield air-bags and SRS front seat center air-
bags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield air-
bags and SRS front seat center air- bags will deploy in the event of an
39

HV Owner's Manual_Europe_M52N30_en
1-1. For safe use
For safety and security
impact that exceeds the set threshold
level (the level of force corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehi-
cle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate
speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may
deploy in the event of a severe side collision.
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a severe frontal collision.
■Conditions under which the SRS
airbags may deploy (inflate), other than a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS side
and curtain shield airbags may also deploy if a serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some exam-
ples are shown in the illustration.
●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or
hard surface
●Falling into or jumping over a deep
hole
●Landing hard or falling
■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front
airbags)
The SRS front airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side
or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal collision. But, whenever a collision of any type
causes sufficient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front airbags may occur.
●Collision from the side
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover
■Types of collisions that may not deploy the SRS airbags (SRS side and curtain shield airbags and SRS
front seat center airbags)
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags and SRS front seat center airbags may
not activate if the vehicle is subjected to a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the side of the
vehicle body other than the passenger compartment.
●Collision from the side to the vehicle body other than the passenger com-partment
●Collision from the side at an angle
The SRS side airbags and SRS front seat center airbags do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a fron-
tal or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed side collision.
●Collision from the front
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover

1-4. Hybrid system
For safety and security
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
not being charged.
*: When the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) requires charging or the engine
is warming up, etc., the gasoline
engine will not automatically stop.
( P. 7 7 )
■During normal driving
The gasoline engine is predomi-
nantly used. The electric motor
(traction motor) charges the hybrid
battery (traction battery) as neces-
sary.
■When accelerating sharply
When the accelerator pedal is
depressed heavily, the power of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
added to that of the gasoline engine
via the electric motor (traction
motor).
■When braking (regenerative
braking)
The wheels operate the electric
motor (traction motor) as a power
generator, and the hybrid battery
(traction battery) is charged.
■Regenerative braking
●In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy
and deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery). • The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift lever in D or
B. • The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift lever in D or B.
●Vehicles with GPF system: While the GPF system ( P.276) is operating to
regenerate the exhaust gas filter, the
hybrid battery (traction battery) may not be recharged.
■EV indicator
The EV indicator comes on when the
vehicle is driven using only the electric motor (traction motor) or the gasoline engine is stopped.
■Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop automatically in the following conditions:
●During gasoline engine warm-up
●During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging
●When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or low
●When the heater is switched on
Depending on the circumstances, the gasoline engine may also not stop auto-
matically in other situations.
■Charging the hybrid battery (trac- tion battery)
As the gasoline engine charges the
hybrid battery (traction battery), the bat- tery does not need to be charged from an outside source. However, if the vehi-
cle is left parked for a long time the hybrid battery (traction battery) will slowly discharge. For this reason, be
sure to drive the vehicle at least once every few months for at least 30 minutes or 16 km (10 miles). If the hybrid battery
(traction battery) becomes fully dis- charged and you are unable to start the hybrid system, contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

become extremely hot when the hybrid system is operating. Obey
the warning labels attached to the vehicle.
